Make kick-off at Emirates Stadium
Towering over Islington, the Emirates Stadium was built in 2006 to replace Arsenal's former North London home of Highbury. Though plans for a new ground were in the works since the 1990s, construction didn't begin until 2004, with the whole project costing a total of �390million. Today, it's played host to countless Arsenal games and seven international matches, not to mention an enviable roster of the world's biggest music artists.
